Meet the Beatles on the Beach

In February 1965, when the Beatles were in the Bahamas filming Help!, one fan's family vacation became a dream come true. This fan and her sister came down from the United States to the Bahamas for some sun and sand. Being big Beatle fans, they were excited to hear that the Beatles were right where they were and for the several days, the two girls went to Paradise Island and opening snapped photos and spoke with the Beatles.

When the Beatles all came off of the boat at Paradise Island, she was waiting for them with a newspaper announcing their arrival for them to sign. She managed to get all 4 Beatles signatures, plus Victor Spinetti's.

After the Beatles had left for the day, she and her sister took turns sitting the Paul's sports car and she took an empty cigarette pack as well as the call sheet for the previous day's filming session that Paul had left behind.

All of these items are currently available at Heritage auction house. Bid now! (and send me scans later). :)

Welcome Beatle fans!

This blog is to highlight photos and stories of people who have met the Beatles in person. And while fan taken photos are my favorite, I also like to include vintage fan photos and other photos that show the Beatles meeting fans.

The idea behind this blog is to follow in the footsteps of the great Beatle fanzines of the 1970's & 1980's such as The Write Thing, The Harrison Alliance, With a Little Help from my Friends, Paperback Writer, etc etc. Photos and article from those publications and others are reproduced here to preserve the history of the fans who met one or more Beatle in person.

If you have ever met one of the Beatles and have a story or pictures to share, please contact me, Sara, at Starshyne9@yahoo.com.

I have never met the Beatles (besides in my dreams) but love fan photos. These photos are from my collection, which spans 17 years of online photo collecting and scanning books. I do not claim any copyright of these photos or stories. Some of them are sent to me and published with permission. Others are scanned from magazines, books and found in various places online. I do not watermark photos that I place on this blog because I do not own any of the photos. These photos are on this blog in an attempt to preserve the history of the Beatles. If you own the rights to a photo and wish to have it removed from this blog, please contact me.
